How Fathers and Sons Influence each other throughout their lives

Dr. Michael Diamond, author of the newly published book, My Father Before Me: How Fathers and Sons Influence Each Other Throughout their Lives (WW Norton), will discuss the reciprocal relationship between fathers and sons, firmly establishing fatherhood as an essential event for both the son's and the father's development.

Dr. Diamond provides a unique way of looking at fatherhood and masculinity through the inter-linked life cycle of father and son. He will discuss how fathers try to help their children grow, while revisiting their internalized relationships with their own parents. He will also address how women can develop a better understanding of their relationships with their own fathers, their husbands, and their sons.
